Based on what I read from AAMC site, it looks like they selectively pulled the contents out of FL1-R, FL2-R, FL6-R and split them into 3 separate packages.

I'm leaning towards only buying the Verbal.

Don't want to pay an extra 60 dollars, and I hear PS and BS has changed a bit anyways.

This is correct.

I did the AAMC Self Assessments, and when I did AAMC 6R, I saw over 3 dozen repeats.

Anybody know what a "good" score on these assessments are? i.e. 10% vs. 20% above average?

70% and above would be good. Avg MCAT I believe is 25 if that means anything.

I should have paid more attention my my self assessment scores, it was more accurate than the AAMC exams and the most helpful. I had percentages ranging from the (one 50) 60's to only one low 80 and ended up with a 30 on the real MCAT. Had I focused more on content and waited, I might have pulled off my AAMC average of 35 or at least closer to it. If I retake, I will make sure my scores are in the upper 80's-90's before trying again.
